I have to confess, too, that I’m a veggie lover though not so much for the taste but more for the consistency/”eating experience”, I guess. My favorite snack, for example, is a raw carrot with some almonds eaten together. It’s hard to explain but I really enjoy chewing those two things at the same time.

For me every chunk of meat has to be accompanied by some veggies, I think it makes a perfect match (particularly regarding consistency and color)

However, I should add that my grandparents were vegetable (mainly asparagus) farmers and my job has partly to do with veggies, so I’m not really unbiased here.
